Understanding Enrollment: Why Did Conn Come Up Short? - Jacee Cox, the College Voice
According to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, which compiles data from 97% of all higher education enrollments at Title IV degree-granting institutions in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, 38 states saw a decrease in higher education enrollment between 2016 and 2017. Only 13 reported increases. In the spring of 2017, four-year, private, nonprofit institutions in the U.S. reported 3,703,320 enrolled students, a 0.2% increase from the spring of 2016. However, undergraduate enrollment at schools like Conn (four-year, private, nonprofit institutions) in 2017 is reported to be 2,589,207, a -0.70% difference from last year.
